Security is not really an aspect of multi-user capability, it's an
aspect of the operating system itself; it doesn't help you at all when
you lose your data because of some sort of malware, but the other user
on the machine did not. What really helps you if you don't lose your
data in the first place.
In any case, a multi-boot solution to multi-user is a very poor and
powerless implementation of multi-user. Multi-user also means to be
able to have more than one concurrent user, not just to share one
computer in a round robin fashion.
